96% boost in sales for Microsoft's console

Well now, TitanFall appears to have had the desired effect both for EA and Respawn, and also for Microsoft which must have forked out quite the loads of cash-money to keep the game brand exclusive to Xbox.

As we reported this morning, the online, multi-player shooter went straight to the top of the UK's all formats, all prices video game charts. In fact, it did unbelievably well...

"EA’s Titanfall lands at No1 on Xbox One and PC becoming the biggest release of 2014 so far," said ChartTrack, which compiles the stats.

But as for Microsoft's hopes and dreams...

"Titanfall also gives a collossal boost to Xbox One hardware sales with a huge jump of over 96% thanks largely to the new Titanfall bundle (including a download token of the game) accounting for over 70% of all Xbox One hardware sold this week."
